Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys provide detailed 2D/3D representations of terrain and features for major infrastructure projects. Using advanced equipment, we ensure precise data collection for road, housing, and hydraulic modelling applications. This service supports informed planning and design decisions with accurate elevation and contour data.
Measured Building Surveys
We deliver precise measured building surveys for regulatory compliance and renovation projects. Our team creates detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections using laser scanning technology. This ensures accurate documentation of existing structures for building regulation drawings and asset management.
Setting Out Services
Our setting out services guide construction projects with millimetre accuracy. Using GPS and total stations, we establish reference points for roads, pipelines, and steel frames. This ensures alignment with design specifications, preventing costly errors during infrastructure development.
Utility Surveys
We conduct PAS128-compliant utility surveys to locate buried services using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic detection. This service identifies water, gas, and electrical networks to prevent damage during excavation. Our reports reduce project risks and enhance safety for construction teams.
CCTV Drainage Surveys
Our CCTV drainage surveys identify blockages and structural issues in sewer systems. High-resolution cameras inspect pipework condition, enabling targeted maintenance. This service helps prevent flooding and ensures compliance with drainage regulations for commercial and residential properties.

Appointed Ratcliff Land Surveys on a few projects with my earlier employers, and used them again recently with my new company. One of the most professional services I would say! The best thing being they would help you reduce your survey project costs by only recommending what's required; and would deliver the surveys beyond your expectations! Highly recommended for Individuals and businesses alike!

Report
I used this company for 3 surveys spending thousands. I paid their account on the understanding they would provide me hard copies of the surveys. 8 weeks later still chasing them for this. Appalling service and promises not respected.
